I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Dublino, Dublino) in Jan 2020
Interview
I got a call from an HR about a job opening. She told if I would answer 3 questions correctly as first screening process. She asked some bookish questions about the data structure that I had forgotten since my engineering days 10 years back. I was able to answer 1 correctly out of 3. She said that I am good in Java, but not good in data structure. All this happened within span of 10 minutes. So I think I am never gonna apply again as I was not able to last even the first 10 minutes of a HR call.
